Ingredients

3 heads garlic

350g onions, roughly chopped

8 tbsp olive oil

Salt & pepper

Method

Separate the cloves of garlic, but do not peel. Place in a heavy-based pan with the onion and olive oil. Cover and stew very gently over a low heat until both garlic and onion are meltingly tender - a good 40 minutes or so.

Let the mixture cool slightly. Using your hands, squeeze the cooked garlic out of its skins, back into the pan. Liquidize the onions and garlic together, sieve and season. Re-heat when ready to serve.
